<strong>What is Agones?</strong>

Agones is an open source project that is built to be a batteries-included, dedicated game server scaling and
orchestration platform. It is built as a native extension of [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io), with the flexibility you need to tailor
it to the requirements of your multiplayer game. Anywhere you can run Kubernetes, you can run Agones.
